Iran says a plan for the early delivery of a plane from US aviation giant Boeing has been cancelled and the plane will not be delivered before next spring.
Farhad Parvaresh, the head of the country’s national flag carrier airline Iran Air, told the domestic media that Boeing had proposed to hand over a 777-300ER by summer after Turkish Airlines withdrew its order for it.
“We welcomed that proposal and started the due technical and commercial studies,” Parvaresh said. “However, when we were almost certain that we wanted the plane, it was no longer available.”
He said Iran Air had announced that it would only go ahead with purchasing the plane provided that it would be available.
“We have currently stopped our negotiations in absence of the plane,” added the official.
Parvaresh further rejected speculations that Iran Air had come across financial difficulties and thus had cancelled the purchase of the plane.
Boeing has already signed a deal worth $16.6 billion to sell 80 planes to Iran Air. It has also signed a $3 billion deal to sell 30 planes to Iran's Aseman Airlines.
Boeing’s biggest European rival – Airbus – has signed another deal estimated to be worth some $25 billion to sell above 100 planes to the same company.
Airbus has so far delivered three planes to Iran and more deliveries are expected to be made in the near future.
On 14 April, Parvaresh was quoted by media as saying that Boeing officials were in capital Tehran to discuss an earlier-than-expected delivery of the first plane. He had emphasized that the proceedings to receive the plane would start provided that Iran Air conditions were met.
“We are currently discussing this matter with them (Boeing). If Iran’s conditions are met, this plane would be most probably delivered to Iran within the next 45 days.”

[Muhammad J Rana] Please don't purchase Boeings.. they would be bugged for espionage... China ordered Boeing Planes for their President and Airlines.. they were bugged by CIA..
[Tatarewicz] Plus Boeings have software which allows miscreants like Mossad to take over aircraft electronically from pilots by remote control.
Ramón Buy Airbus or Russian equivalent .
[Ross] My thought exactly. Everyone should suspend all trade with America until it has Impeached it's entire criminal government (not just Trump), and ceased all terror operations against Syria and other countries, permanently
[T] ..... and returned to its borders.
Ashraf ....It is SAD to see how occupied America really is?......Because Boeing just had to let thousands of people of of their job at Boeing........Because of loss of revenue..... .....YET,they are being SABOTAGED by Zionists to STOP or CANCEL delivery.To Iran....loss of BILLIONS.....BIOLLIONS , meaning thousands of jobs!!!...
...Guess Trump makes America great?ONLY after ALL Israeli NEVER ENDING needs & WARS are met FIRST.......meaning NEVER be America First or American INTERSTS for that matter!!!.......Maybe, that is why they always say reaching American DREAM?......Because reality is something else!
[Tatarewicz]... Trump's boss in US is Congress whose members will lose vital Jew election campaign support if Israel's anti-Iran needs are not met.
